Abstract (en)

Apparatus to feed sheets one at a time from a stack comprises a separator (10), rotating about a plane substantially normal to the stack (30). The separator rotation axis is tiltable in a first direction to contact the stack on one side to shingle the stack and move the top sheet rearwardly from under a restraint (51) and in a second direction to contact the stack on the other side to restore the stack to its unshingled state and move the top sheet over the restraint to a sheet feed roller (52).
